SMT Expired Content
This information refers to SuiteCommerce or the 2019.2 release of SuiteCommerce Advanced or later.
The Expired Content tab lets you manage content that's past its visibility end date. Expired Content refers to content or landing pages that have passed their visibility end date. This tab lets you restore or delete expired content.
When managing Expired Content you can:
-
Update the visibility dates for content and landing pages
-
Permanently delete content and landing pages you don't want to reuse
Like the Published Content tab, content is grouped by URL. The pages in the content group are listed first, followed by the other types of content. You can select the entire content group by the selecting the header, or you can choose individual pieces of content.
Filter and Sort Expired Content
You can filter content in several ways:
-
Content Type — Filter content by type, such as HTML, Image, Text, Page, or other types of content.
-
Path — Filter by the location or URL.
-
Tags — Filter content by the information you used in the tags field.
Click Apply to apply your filters. Click Reset to clear the filters and start again.
Change Visibility of Expired Content
Expired content is not visible to customers. You can easily restore expired content to make it visible again. When you're updating expired content, you can set the visibility dates to make the content available immediately or in the future.
For example, lets say you created a new landing page for a 30–day sale. When the sale ends, perhaps you haven’t reached your sales goals or have leftover inventory you still want to sell at the promotional price. You can now use SMT to quickly make the landing page and it's content available to your customers.
To update visibility dates of expired content:
-
Click Overview on the site management toolbar.
-
Click Expired Content.
-
Choose the content you want to update, set the new visibility dates, click Save.
-
Click Yes to save the changes.
-
Click No to discard the changes. You are returned to the list with all of the previously selected content.
-
-
As with most content, you must publish changes before they are applied to the content.
-
Click Review & Publish Changes.
-
Select the changes you want to publish. Click Publish.
See Visibility Dates.
Delete Expired Content
Content is no longer visible to customers after its end date. If you have content that's not expired on an expired landing page, that content is no longer visible to your customers.
Lets follow up on the example from changing the visibility dates for deleting expired content. You created a landing page and content for a special sale and now the sale is over. You have no use for the expired content and want to delete from the website.
This permanently deletes the content record from NetSuite. Deleted content is not recoverable.
To delete expired content:
-
Click Overview on the site management toolbar.
-
Click Expired Content.
-
Choose the content you want to permanently delete and click Delete.
-
Click Yes to permanently delete the changes.
-
Click No to discard the changes. You are returned to the list with all of the previously selected content.
-
-
If the content is successfully deleted, you will receive a confirmation message.
-
The content is now deleted.
